If you think the Super Mario invincibility star is cute, hang on: the little yellow fellow is just one member from the infinte family of superduper protozoan friends! Just crochet your favourite superdupershape – add two eyes – and your little critter is finished.

In order to turn the DXF-mesh directly into a knitting or crochet pattern you should have a look at the algorithm described in Yuki Igarashi's paper on 3D Knitting. Again – let us know if you have implemented it!
